Cycling Backpack 25 L - Speed 520

Great capacity for every kind of activities. Work, cycling, grocery shopping. Great value for money.

Waterproof and very roomy backpack. It has 3 layers of sleeves. One for a laptop, 1 for documents and one zipped one for keys, wallets etc. There is an extra small zipped pocker on the side to store keys or work pass. There is also an extra side zip to easily access the insid

e of the bag without opening the bag from the top. There is also a mesh pocket. Bag is confortable to wear. Only drawback is that bag is quite big. 20L instead of 25L would have been amazing.

Good quality finishes and decent amount of space. Comfortable as well.

I have owned this for four months and it has worked well. Tonight I cycled for 30 minutes in a torrential downpour and everything inside was completely dry when I opened the bag. Including my MacBook! My major complaint is that it could be a little deeper and less tall as it c

an be hard to take full advantage of the capacity in litres since the bag is so tall/vertical. I could not fit a pair of shoes and a laptop in easily. Also the threads have started to unravel a bit on the black tabs on the top, hopefully just cosmetic.

I spent ages looking for a new cycling bag with the following criteria: waterproof, internal organisation, at least one external pocket, high visibility colour, reflectivity, back ventilation and padding. This one has it all. Bizarrely it was only this bag that had it all. E

ven much more expensive competitors were missing one or more of the criteria which, honestly, I thought should be standard for a cycling bag. I actually tried to use a £160 bag from a competitor and switched to this one that is less than half the price. Having cycled through several days of torrential rain I can testify that it is absolutely waterproof. The back padding is simple but provides surprisingly good ventilation by virtue of the large groove in-between the pads. The side zip is very handy for getting a waterproof jacket out while on the move, and one of the internal pockets has a side-aligned zip to allow access from the external side zip - a very nice design touch. The strip of fabric attached to the buckle for closing the bag also provides loops for attaching bike lights or carabiniers. It's rare to find a "budget" product with these kind of thoughtful design features - it genuinely is superior in a lot of ways to far more expensive alternatives. The only real downside I can think of is that it's not going to win any fashion awards. I like the minimalist, vaguely nautical look it has (especially in yellow/orange) but it's a design that very much says "sports equipment".
